Present Water S'tuation For some yearn, during th- dry season, Monroe has b.'cn threatcn-d with a water famii... The supply has been only twelve hours ahead of the normal demand, and would hr.ve been entirely exhausted in case of emergency. The people suffered and will suffer seri ius inconvenienc on account of temporary shut-downs in an effort to conserve the supply. We do nut have enough water to tlu.h thp streets and lav dust, nor enough to regularly and systematically tlush the fewer, and on account of cost of continually digging wells and exces sive cost of pumping from deep wells, we have the highest water rate of any city in the state. The question of stvurng a more adequate supply has been continually agitate.!,' and unless something is done between now and next summer, we will have a more ser..r.:s .-hortage than we have ever had. Alternative Kemcdie The only sources of water are (a) underground water obtained from wells the best and purest water, or (b) surface water obtained from streams. Up to the present time we have been using well water. This summer we hnd two more wells dug. If we had not done so, we would have had a famine. Hut, while these two wells increased the total quantity of water, they did not flow go freely as anticipated or desired, and other wells began showing a shortage of flow, due to tapping their sources. Fjmense for nower was increased. and it is apparent that the end of ;!leved that his physical condition, to wells as a source of permanent supply gather with his other troubles, was for water is in sight. 'the cause ot his act Sunday after- Investigations by Board Urged on by a realization of the situation and demands of the peo ple, the board employed a firm of competent engineers to make an in vestigation and survey of present water supply and nil available1 sources.

J. V. Broom tells of a farmer and his wife of Goose Creek township who are actually pa? ing for a farm with poultry and poultry product. ..Some time "ago the far mer, after quite a hit of difficulty, finally secured a loan from the Fed eral Land Bank. He and his wife then sot their heads together in an effort to ork out sotre means hereby the payment may be met. They derided upon chickens and rets and ct one? be ran placing all the money obtained from the sales 01 poultry and poultrv products in i a bank. hen the first payment be- ' came duo, there was plenty of mon- cy in the bank to meet it. The , second payment is not yet due, but I th.' money has been provided and is on d.pu-it v it in i' ir the note !g muture. 1'he interesting feature to the situat:on is the fart that this farm er is devoting th; -rincipal part of his tine to his farmin? 'rations ana raisin; poultry as a side line. He is therefore making a liv nz for the family and paying for the farm with what might be termed by products. MR.

Wonderful Showing of Ihe Children's Home P.y reference to the statement of the olT.cials of the Union County Chil dren's Home, given 'n another col umn of The Journal, it will be seen that the institution has been operat-j ed on a very economical basis, and j that the small amount paid by the county towrd the support of the in stitution, when distributed among the various taxpayers of the county, is a very insignificant matter. The Home has been in operation since June 12, lltJl, about sixteen months, and the actual amount paid by each taxpayer g;nce the institution opened for bust ncss is about 15 cents on the one thou sand dollars' worth of prenerty. The amount received from pledges and voluntary contributions' amounts to about the same. Rev. E. C. Snyder, superintendent of the istitution, has done a givat deal of work, and the vonierful success of the Children's Home is largely due to the efforts of Mr. Snyder and the other officials.
